Worst support ever



Posted on 14 August 2023
Functionality
slow work process, the system does not advance in any type of improvement
Ease of use
complex, everything is a mess, lots of unuseful configuration, bad UI and UX in backend... etc etc.
Support
Worst support ever, even if you bought a membership 70€! Never replied a ticket. Even plugins you buy in official site works properly
Documentation
old info, this site looks like an abandoned site, no ones replies, no changes updates, etc..
I used this to: Unfortunately inherited from old sites when Joomla was a good CMS... Joomla 4 also the worst product in the digital world.

Not a free download



Posted on 19 April 2023
Functionality
Only outdated versions are free download. As of version 4.0.14 all updates are for paid users only so can't update Joomla 4 either.
Ease of use
Quirky interface, but you get used to it. Never found it especially intuitive.
Support
Support for paid users only. Forum questions often not answered or closed without resolution.
Documentation
Lots of documentation, at least. Poor English is sometimes hard to follow.
I used this to: Catalog for parts. No sales. Joomla 4. (Will need to replace with something else now.)

Enough for joomla 4



Posted on 15 March 2023
Functionality
It is highly extensible and it can be used for many purposes. However poor integration with templates
Ease of use
If you have a basic understanding of joomla administration, then it will be very suitable for you
Documentation
I used this to: Create a website selling cosmetics...........................................

Realy nothing works in ver 4



Posted on 03 November 2022
Functionality
I think it's very bad idea to release component where even links to subcategories are broken.
Ease of use
No ease is use because every time you'll wonder is it bug or featue. vm3 was not modern very much. VM4 is obsolete
Support
I dont think "vm4 is very much a work in progress be patient" answer in forum is good support when nothing works
Documentation
no documentation for current version of vm , documentation is outdated
I used this to: i use vm component sisne j1.5 times and now i'm very much dissapointed

The Choice of Professionals - since 2005?



Posted on 01 November 2022
Functionality
4.0.6 (stable, compatible J4), 4.0.4 (stable, compatible J4) & 4.0.2 (stable, compatible J4) were promoted as stable. None took orders.
Ease of use
Still doesn't work 6+ months later. 4.0.7 (compatible J3/J4 bugfix RC) is now the latest. VM was never J4 stable but they still claim it was
Support
Horrible. In a culture of denial. Unnecessary headaches.
forum dot virtuemart dot net / index dot php ?topic=148837 dot msg531412#msg531412
Documentation
Deceptive & misleading. Was listed as 4.0.0 (stable, compatible J3/J4) in April '22
dev dot virtuemart dot net /projects /virtuemart /files
I used this to: A Joomla 4 shopping cart.

A year since anyone else has reviewed VM. With 518 reviews, VM was popular.

VMs policies, processes, and priorities are having a negative impact on the code and the community.

Better options available and also under dev by coders connected to V

VirtueMart under Joomla 4



Posted on 28 September 2021
Functionality
I have 10 years of experience with VirtueMart, tried to install the released VirtueMart version 3.8.9 under Joomla 4? One disaster.
Ease of use
The VM backend, without any reasonable logic, operator unfriendly. The media management completely out of date and difficult to understand.
Support
Documentation
I used this to: I wanted to convert customer website from Joomla 3.10.2 to Joomla 4.0.2 and VirtueMart version 3.8.9. But it is not possible to have too many errors in VirtueMart.

Very old. But very stable!



Posted on 10 September 2021
Functionality
Contains all the tools you need to create a store. But poorly integrated with new themes.
Ease of use
A very simple understanding of the logic of the component.
Very simple logic construction for working with goods and warehouse.
Support
Documentation
I used this to: Online store of sports accessories and gadgets.
A large number of free plugins and modules from payment and delivery services. The store can be made "on your knees" with minimal effort.

Super extension



Posted on 08 January 2021
Functionality
Beaucoup de fonctions, ne pas hésitez à acheter un livre pour comprendre, découvrir...
Ease of use
Personnellement j'ai acheté un livre pour comprendre et pour être rapide dans la construction de la boutique
Support
Bravo à l'équipe et vive le libre.
Ne pas hésiter à devenir membre pour encourager toute l'équipe !
Documentation
I used this to: Une boutique en ligne avec environ une vingtaine de produits, j'utilise le plugin E-transaction du Crédit Agricole pour le paiement en ligne.

Go to shop solution



Posted on 13 October 2020
Functionality
A stack of functionality. Most shops can use it out of the box and not use half of it, but can also be extend for more specific requirements
Ease of use
Pretty easy to use, Concepts are mostly clear and demos explain most of what may not be immediately.
Support
Community support, someone usually has an answer. There may be an occasional miss, but I haven't been stuck for long in over 13 years of use
Documentation
There is a lot of documentation, wouldn't hurt it being cleaned up a bit from old versions, but it's there.
I used this to: Building and running online stores and catalogs for clients and myself.

Highly customizable webshop extension



Posted on 10 September 2020
Functionality
There is a broad range of functions and settings. It is highly scalable and it can be used for many purposes.
Ease of use
It has its own logic after you understand there are a lot of opportunities. It is based on J! logic which is quite a great job!
Support
VM forum can help you out many times. Community members created many content to find an answer for most cases.
Documentation
There is a space for improvement. It could be a more popular webshop script if there is a betterquality documentation.
I used this to: Creating and maintaining webshops. Many Virtuemart extensions, templates, plugins etc. are available so you can definitely customize it for your own needs. With some custom Virtuemart development we put some unique business processes inside of J! and VM.
